<p>Let's see. Prying a top player in his class already indoctrinated in Team USA's system to join another country's program that he has little connection to or affinity for? I could maybe understand if he was just a marginal player or was playing in a country without a prestigious nat'l basketball program, but that isn't the case.<br />
This is a no brainer for Jahlil.</p>

<p>Recruiting him hard for the Nigerian team, he came to Nigeria about two years ago, I think he's about 6'10, but definitely needs to work on his conditioning</p>

<p>You guys are overrating height like hell. Like if he is 6'9, he has no potential. If he's 6'10, he's going to be okay. If he's 6'11, he's going to be amazing. KG has been listed at like 6'10-6'11 his whole career and he's like 7'2. More than height, length and wingspan (Okafor has both) are just as important. If he is 6'9, but can stay in front of, contest, and block shots of guys 2-3 inches taller than him, it won't matter. I have watched him play live and he definitely has all the tools to be a dominant big man as the OP noted. And I don't think size will be an issue at all.</p>

<p>Doctors recently said he could grow to 7'2 or 7'3 for what it's worth.</p>
<p>Also it's a done deal that him and Tyus Jones will be going to the same college together. That means if Duke, MSU, OSU, or Kansas gets one of them, they can get both of them.</p>
<p>I left out UK because I think Mudiay and Cliff Alexander are more likely to pop for Calipari first.</p>

<p>Ballislife has him at 6'11, HomeTeamHoops has him at 6'10, ESPN has him at 6'9, Scout has him at 6'9 and Rivals and Wikipedia have him at 6'10, so I guess it's for you to decide unless he posts a Trey Burke type photo.</p>

<p>For some reason I see this kid going to Duke</p>

<p>I like the guy and hope he ends up at duke but there's now way he's 6'11. He looks more 6'9. And I've only seen him play a few times so idk much about his skill set but defensively I liked what I saw. On offense he looked like more of someone who benefits from being bigger than everyone. But like I said I only saw him play a couple times</p>

<p>If you see Samardo Samuels in Jahlil Okafor....well, I was going to say you have only watched a couple highlights clips of him by damn that still doesn't make any sense. They litterally have no similarities.</p>
